What I hate the most

Ever since I know how to travel,

I learned new things to hate.

One of them being?
When people asked me about my travels and then they made me feel like I'm doing my travelling wrong.





Man! people are annoying sometimes.


I know what you're going to say, I shouldn't listen to this people.

I don't. but that doesn't mean I can't hate it.

For a long time since my first travel, I've told myself so many times, that different people, different style of travel:

  • some travel to shop
  • some to be with nature (this includes mount climbing, camping, etc)
  • some for the extreme sports (like parasailing, skydiving, etc)
  • some for the culture (this includes sight seeing)
  • some for food adventure
  • some for theme park hopping
Those are some of the examples.

I guess, I'm more of a mixture between shopping, sightseeing, and theme park hopping.

of course, mine also depends on what country I'm visiting.

Like, I've been to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Singapore a number of times before. So, for my next trip there, I usually plan for more sight seeing/relaxing, and less shopping. (keynote: Plan. we know how plans always go :P)

With all that explained, and hopefully you got the point,
I hate it when people started asking, "eh inda ko pigi ..." or "rugi ko inda (go somewhere/do something) ..."




Ummmm ani travel story ku kah or kau?

If you think I'm rugi this and that, why don't you do it, if you're so perfect? 
Coz as far as I'm concerned, there's a different between dreaming of doing this and that/planning this and that, with actually doing this and that when you finally arrive at the destination.
You can planned things for months but still fell short of your plan when you were actually doing it, no matter how thorough your plan/research is.

So, unless you've done more travelling than I do, chill ko di sana and stop raining on my parade.

I'm not the best traveller. I'm still a baby traveller. still trying to get to know this world of travels.

Yes, I might missed a certain place to visit or take picture at, but who said that's gona be my one and only time there? I could always visit again. why you so worked up?




There you go,
my little rant on why I don't really like talking about my travel to people.

coz a princess once said, "the most boring thing is to hear story about other people's travel"

LOL that doesn't really make sense but I was never good at explaining things. :P

Anyway,
that's all for now and I will see you on my next post!

Happy Weekend people.

SM released. and My opinion on it.

I didn't mean to start of my post (after a week of absence) with this; but its about the only thing I can get going on...hahaha please just beruang (bear) with me on this one.

First off,
Jonghyun 2nd Mini Album.
a song called 02:34 is one of the song that have been played most among the 9 songs on the album.



The first song of this album, called The End of the Day, was actually very Jonghyun-i~ and I like it.



and this song, Like You, deserves a mention. not because I like it but because I literally laugh out loud at one point coz I thought I heard him say 'fcuk u' (not the one during the chorus. the one around 1:09-1:12 is the start. you can hear it again thru out the song) hahahaha
have a listen



and the rest of the songs in this album are just ..I'm not crazy about them.  
Maybe it's the music. as Kris (ex-member of EXO) once said, "Naega style aniya".
I know I should be more constructive with my 'criticism' but since I'm no expert (and I'm dead lazy kan berhujah or ber-debate) that's about the only polite way to say it.
that low key, breathy way of singing is also Naega Style Aniya 
I admit that I'm always so proud when I see on some article that says Jonghyun wrote the lyric of this songs and Jonghyun write and compose a song for other artists but that doesn't mean I have to like it, right? I am still entitle to my own opinion and feelings.
I listen to music to get my mind off things, and most of Jonghyun musics make me feel uncomfortable. Not because of the lyrics (coz God knows I don't understand Korean) but just the way it was 'presented'. I don't know eh cemana kan explain lagi. Go figure it out yourselves. but if you happened to like Jonghyun songs, good for you. Jonghyun made this album for you. you don't need to bash me. I still bought his original as a way of supporting his career. even though I'm just one person and may seems like I don't contribute much, the Emperor from Mulan said, 'A single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man maybe the difference between victory and defeat'. LOL nah ko! sampai Mulan ku bawa kemari ani...jua lagi aku inda making my point...hahaha

and btw, his album 'skin' is literally no skin at all. there are no Jonghyun face anywhere.
these are some of the photos from the booklet;

 I thought, "He got it wrong. this is Onew's. His should be a puppy"

this is pretty. almost like Alice in Wonderland theme. Mad-Hatter-ly.


Second off,
Taeyeon 1st Mini Album
fav song? I 



I listened and watched the mv at the same time. My initial reaction was touched. or sebak di dada. or something like that. I hate Taeyeon's acting. but the rest of the mv with the song reminds me of Ireland. I don't know why. maybe it's the green-field scene with kambing. I don't know. it just reminds me of Ireland.
and I've never been to Ireland, mind you. I mostly ever seen glimpse of it from Westlife's DVD footage. So, maybe it just reminds me of Westlife and ultimately of Ireland too.
I like the entire album. the songs choice fits Taeyeon's voice (in my opinion). music wise is well received by my ears and brain. 
But her live performance sucks. and I'm not even sorry for that. She could've done so much better. I don't know what she's trying to hide or why she's holding back. she can do better and I hope that she will. 

annddd
there ya go.
my me-making-an-effort-to-post today.

this post just shows just how you can never judge people from the outside. We will never know what's going on inside their head.
Like me; I LOVE SHINee but I can't seem to kid myself to go gaga over Jonghyun's music releases. and Taeyeon, I have been feeling annoyed with her (all the other SNSD members, really) ever since the Jessica's Cast Out drama. So, I was surprised when I fell in love with her album.

you can never know.

Writers

after spending so much time on Asianfanfics.com these past years, I realized something.

real authors need real (heavily constructive) criticism.

I mean the most I see people comment about a story is about how cute this character look (when in actualness the author has not even describe their cuteness in words) or how cute the main characters were together (hmm. I guess that's the disadvantage of writing a fan fiction. coz you're using characters from the real life; Kpop artists and such).

Point is, i don't think most of us want this.

I, for one, would love a criticism on the way I laid out the story, my grammar (though i wouldn't listen much on that since English is only my second language. LOL), and you know, REAL criticism!

but I guess (again) I have to take into account that that website if full of hormonal teenagers, who was so keen into the story line alone (without really caring how the words were laid down as long as there's the name of their fav kpop artists in it) than how it was laid out etc etc.

I'm not saying I'm THAT good! gawd, no. I've got a lot to learn too.

it just frustrates me that I'm posting my story there in the hope that I would get decent, constructive, criticism that would help me improve myself in one way or another, but I got this childish review instead.

I had one good review once for one of my stories and although it stinks and i kinda don't like it in the beginning, I still appreciate it. it got me where I am today.

but since me and that person are not talking to each other anymore, I have no one else to ask harsh review from. 

sigh.

You really don't miss your water, till the well runs dry.

ANYWAY~~

I WANT CONSTRUCTIVE REVIEWS ON MY STORY! 

ANYBODY WANTS TO BE THE REVIEWER?! 

also, desperate time calls for desperate measures.
